Dual speaker system
I have a similar situation and setup but (perhaps) for different reasons. In my dedicated room I have my system on one side of the rack and a system for the family on the other side.  That way they don't mess with my stuff and dont use my speaker... 
Could we get a group of all IRS Beta owners?

Modifying Crossovers
Interesting discussion.  I am pondering updating the crossover components on my IRS Beta. They are original except that I have "re glued" some of the components that fell off.  Odd that they used what seems to be glue gun adhesive and then hung co...

@jea48 since we are on this, any recommendations on tubes or suppliers? 12AT7, 7044, EL-34, KT77?

@jea48 UHUM.  I didn't order the 7044 from Amazon.  Only a 12AT7 as a tester (TungSol) while the good ones arrive from Manley (7044 and 12AT7). @dweller regretfully they did not.  The spec'd tubes for the Snapper changed and they now use the 12AX...
